unravel this one then.....

[executivetravel]

ref a mk6 tourneo...

ok, its overdue for a service

it felt sluggish, had a habit of hunting when cold, and maybe a flat spot about 2000 rpm

i booked it at fords for a diagnostic as its under warranty

they said "its got the wrong fuel filter fitted, its got a TDDi filter, not a TDci...."

so i fetched it back, but its got a white fuel filter on, genuine ford with "TDci/Di" on it....

they had opened the water bleed tap cos there was liquid gold on the top of my gearbox

so then, are they fobbing me off?

its having a service monday, my service people (Norflex agents, do British Gas and Coca Cola fleets+HGV) say mr ford must be sniffing unleaded again...

What numbers are on the filter then?

[executivetravel]

4.537.951
3C11-9176-AA


S701c

deffo says "TDCi Di"



this is mine...

[Guy88]

is there not a tick in the box next to the Di bit

[executivetravel]

looks like it, but is that defining?

ive played a crafty

emailed the same ford dealers parts department for price+part no on correct filter....

[madmark]

mine hunts but does have the tick in the box!

[executivetravel]

my (real) repairers actual words were..."borrox, we keep those filters in stock, theres no wrong ones, it either fits or dont"

as theyve looked after my citroen relay, fiat ducato, transit 350 and merc sprinter 311cdi extra long wheelbase i tend to believe em

[Guy88]

the filters are different internally iirc, the TDCi is a lot finer

and yes the tic tells you which it is

[executivetravel]

but has there ever been a TDdi mk6 or mk5 come to that?

arent they all TDci?

[Guy88]

Yes there has the only TDCi MK6s are the 125ps FWD and the 137ps RWD

the 75,85,90,100,115 and 125RWD are all TDDi

you can clearly see tdci x
di tick
so its a di filter.

[winterheating]

could anyone explain what hunting means, is it fuel starvation

No wonder its got the wrong filter on it

Theres a fair chance you've just lost any warranty on your fuel system because of that as well

Probably quite likely as they do mostly fleet stuff that they don't do any other Mk6 TDCi's.

[executivetravel]

cant wait to see what their parts dept try to flog me then.

i was not expecting any great result re warranty, if i put the right filter in and its not sorted ill take it to another ford dealer!

lol with the right filter in it
